Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Chapter 788: Questioning?

The prince is dead!

Died at the hands of Liu Yunqing!

No one expected that the ultimate winner of this fight would be the King of Chu who rushed back later.

However, Liu Yunqing's last words before his death dragged Chu Ning into the whirlpool.

Thanks to Chu Ning for giving him the opportunity!

Could it be that Chu Ning let him in on purpose?

The already angry Taifu was furious upon hearing this. He put down the prince's body, stood up suddenly, looked at Chu Ning, and asked angrily:

"Your Highness, Prince Chu, you must give me an explanation for this matter. Why did Liu Yunqing appear here?"

The Prime Minister's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he quickly reached out and pulled the tutor, signaling him not to be impulsive.

But the Grand Tutor didn't care about the Prime Minister at all. He shook off the Prime Minister's hand and said coldly: "You have so many soldiers outside. If the defense is tight, Liu Yunqing won't be able to get in at all!"

"Unless you let him in on purpose!"

As soon as these words came out, without waiting for Chu Ning to refute, Ran Ming was furious and rushed to the front of the tutor, glaring at him:

"You old man, you are so unreasonable. His feet are on Liu Yunqing's body. Can we still stop him?

Besides, you saw what happened just now. We are all here to encircle the people around the prince, so we don’t have the time to care about other places.

How could we know that Liu Yunqing sneaked in? Humph, you were the one who supported the prince, but was killed by Liu Yunqing. You should be responsible, right?

I understand. You must be afraid of His Majesty's punishment, so you want to find His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu as a scapegoat!"

Although Ran Ming is usually careless, after being with Chu Ning for a long time, he has become more eloquent under the influence of Chu Ning.

The already furious Taifu was furious upon hearing this, and pointed at Ran Ming and angrily cursed: "You man, stop trying to defend the King of Chu here.

If the King of Chu hadn't rushed back, how could today's incident have turned out like this? The prince was killed after being surrounded by the King of Chu, so the King of Chu must be held responsible!"

Ran Ming was furious. He waved the spear in his hand and was about to attack.

"Ran Ming, step back!"

Chu Ning spoke at the right time to stop Ran Ming who was about to take action.

If Ran Ming really took action, his aura might crush the Master to death. With the Master's small physique, there is no way he could withstand it.

But Ran Ming was unwilling and said with a curled lip: "Your Highness, this old guy is so abominable. It was obviously Liu Yunqing who killed the prince, but he wanted to put the blame on you.

If you don't teach him a lesson, he might not know how powerful you are."

Chu Ning was concerned about this and that, but Ran Ming didn't have so many concerns. He only knew that this old guy wanted to harm the King of Chu, and he had to get rid of him!

But Chu Ning shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "I will handle it myself, please leave."

"Yes!" Ran Ming snorted coldly, turned around and walked behind Chu Ning, but his eyes were fixed on the tutor.

It means taking action if there is any disagreement.

At this time, Chu Ning said calmly: "Master Taifu, I am also surprised that my elder brother, the Crown Prince, was killed, but I cannot admit the crime you accused me of.

It's easy to find excuses to accuse someone of a crime. If this matter gets out, no one will believe what you say, Grand Tutor.

If you don't believe it, you can ask the Prime Minister beside you!"

At this point, Chu Ning turned his head to look at Yang Wende and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think about this matter?"

Yang Wende's expression changed slightly.

He knew that Chu Ning was trying to force him to express his stance.

If he chooses to stand on the side of the Grand Tutor, Chu Ning will definitely not tolerate him.

But if we don't stand on the side of the Grand Tutor, it would be tantamount to abandoning our neutral position, and the situation would become extremely complicated.

While thinking, the Grand Tutor also turned his head and asked coldly: "Prime Minister, don't you think this matter is the responsibility of the King of Chu?"

"This……"

The Prime Minister raised his eyebrows, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, but he finally sighed: "The Crown Prince died at the hands of Liu Yunqing. It is indeed a bit far-fetched to say that this matter is related to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Taifu's face changed drastically.

He never expected that the prime minister would abandon him at this time.

"Yang! Wen! De!"

The Grand Tutor stared at the Prime Minister and shouted angrily, "Do you know what you are talking about? The matter is obvious, why are you trying to excuse him?"

Yang Wende frowned, "Grandmaster, I am not trying to excuse the King of Chu. You and I saw with our own eyes that Liu Yunqing was hiding in the crowd and killed the Crown Prince when he was not prepared!

At that time, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had his back to us, and only the soldiers were cleaning the scene. In such a short time, it was too late for him to rescue!

As for what you said, that Liu Yunqing was let in by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, I don't agree with it even more!

Just as General Ran Ming said, the two sides were fighting fiercely at that time, who would care about Liu Yunqing?

Perhaps Liu Yunqing seized this opportunity and took the chance to come to the palace!

Besides, Liu Yunqing was the Fourth Prince's confidant and knew the palace very well. It would be easy for him to take advantage of the chaos and break in.

Grand Tutor, now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. It is better to collect the bodies of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince as soon as possible and wait for His Majesty to come back to deal with this matter."

Compared to the excited Taifu, Yang Wende seemed much more rational.

His last words were also a reminder to the Master that the situation was now under the control of Chu Ning and no matter what they did it would be useless.

It would be better to report this matter to the emperor and let him deal with it.

Now Chu Ning holds the military power, the crown prince and the fourth prince have been killed, and Chu Ning has the final say in the entire Kyoto city.

Now Chu Ning is irritated. If he kills them all together and then says that they died in the chaos, it would be an unexpected disaster.

The Grand Tutor is not a fool, how could he not hear the reminder in Yang Wende's words.

Although he really wanted to punish Chu Ning, the situation was stronger than him and Chu Ning had already taken control of the situation, so he could do nothing about it.

If he continues to pester her, he will definitely be punished by Chu Ning.

Thinking of the family behind him, the Taifu loosened his clenched hands.

But when he thought of his own persistence, he clenched his hands again.

After shaking hands back and forth several times, the Grand Tutor finally loosened his hands, turned around and looked at the prince's body behind him without saying a word.

Yang Wende breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, the King of Chu, only people can judge right and wrong, merits and demerits, now the dead are the most important, first collect the bodies of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince."

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "I will arrange for someone to handle this matter. After the body is packed, I will ask the old King Qin to come out and take charge of the situation.

The current situation in the city is like this, and many soldiers are gathering in the city. We need to stabilize the situation as soon as possible.

The news of the death of the Crown Prince and Fourth Brother will be blocked for now. I will summon all the ministers to hold a morning court tomorrow to discuss the matter!

The Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor are the heads of all officials, as well as the Emperor's teacher, so you must not be absent~"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Wende's expression changed slightly.

He knew that Chu Ning would have to determine his position at the morning court tomorrow.

I'm afraid things will not be peaceful again at tomorrow's morning court session.

After all, there are still some officials from the Prince's faction and the Fourth Prince's faction, and Chu Ning will definitely clean up these people.

Moreover, Chu Ning insisted that they be present, which clearly showed that he wanted them to witness the event.

Although he didn't want to participate, at this moment, Yang Wende could only bow and salute: "I obey your command!"
